Real Wedding: A winter wedding in Bath with an Annasul Y dress

Epiphany and Ashley held their wedding in mid-December, opting for a gorgeous colour palette of red and gold, to reflect the festive season.
Their beautiful venue spoke for itself, so decorations were left to a minimum, meaning all eyes were on Epiphany's breathtaking fishtail wedding gown. The bridesmaids were dressed in gold sparkling dresses, to complement the glittery feel of the day.

The wedding venue – Epiphany and Ashley held their wedding ceremony in the Guildhall Registry Office in Bath and their reception in the Elder Room and The Mezzanine in the Huntsman Pub. “We chose to hold our wedding in Bath as it’s so picturesque and we’d be able to get some beautiful pictures,” explains Eppie. “The Huntsman is within walking distance from Guildhall and it is decorated in a warm and welcoming country style which was perfect for our winter wedding.” READ MORE: 23 Charming Pub Wedding Venues for Laidback Couples

The Annasul Y wedding dress – Eppie purchased her Annasul Y wedding dress from Lace and Grace Bridal. She chose the Snow dress, and had the back lace panel lowered, the buttons changed to Swarovski crystals and had the belt removed. “It was the first dress I tried on and it just felt right,” Eppie explains. “It was the exact style I wanted and was just beautiful.” READ MORE: Fabulous fishtail wedding dresses

The wedding flowers – All of the gorgeous white wedding flowers were artificial; Eppie had a waterfall bouquet with white roses and foliage, while the bridesmaids had white rose and gypsophila bouquets. The flowers were created by Wisteria Avenue.

The cheese wedding cake – Eppie and Ash treated their guests to a cheese wedding cake, which fitted in beautifully with the rustic surroundings of the venue. “The Huntsman is beautiful, so we didn’t need to add much in the way of decorations,” explains Eppie.

The cupcake tower – As well as the cheese wedding cake, Eppie and Ash also had a cupcake tower, created by the mother-of-the-bride with help from one of the bridesmaids too.

The most romantic moment – “I would say the most romantic moment was when we met at the end of the aisle and saw each other for the last time before becoming husband and wife,” shares Eppie. “We were told by a few people to make sure we took time to actually see each other and soak it all in, and this was the best advice we received. We spent most of the day and night dancing away together with all of our friends.”
